I gather from your post in the thread "Not able to send and receive
messages posted to a list" that your problem appears to be resolved. If
so, I don't understand. I gather that 'list' is your Mailman user/group.

I don't understand why check_perms can't fix this unless 'list' is not a
registered group. I also don't understand why Mailman works with these
errors unless there are some world (or perhaps owner) permissions that
allow it. See

for a discussion of Mailman's security.
